Panda Nursery at Marvell House

About this day nursery

Panda Nursery at Marvell House, established in January 2014, provides high-quality childcare and early years education for children aged 6 weeks old until they transition to primary school at 4 or 5. The nursery is part of a family-owned business that began in 2011 with an initial setting on Spring Bank.

The owners are passionate about creating a nurturing environment where children can acquire new skills, cultivate their talents, and prepare for their future educational journey. The dedicated team at Panda Nursery is committed to fostering a strong foundation for each child's success.

They embrace diversity, offering equal opportunities and anti-discriminatory practices for all children and their families. The nursery operates on the principle that children are paramount, with a belief that collaborative efforts between parents, carers, and staff create a secure, joyful, and stimulating atmosphere.

Children are encouraged to explore their surroundings, engage in imaginative play with peers, and develop into independent decision-makers. The curriculum covers all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), introducing children to a variety of child-friendly activities that promote language, literacy, social skills, and creative expression.

The nursery places a high priority on the safety and well-being of both children and staff, adhering to comprehensive Health and Safety and Safeguarding Policies and Procedures. The ultimate goal is to provide a "home from home" experience, working as a team to support each child's development and well-being.
